I. Not touching... Not touching!!! Sometimes I don't mind foods toughing one another. Sometimes, if someone tries to scrap somthing on my plate -- something gooey that won't match the flavor of what I'm eating, I'll flip out. "NO! DOOON'T!!!!" The peanutbutter cup may have never been invented if it were something I were to invent.
II. I'm graying much faster than others my age. It used to bother me a lot, but it doesn't anymore.
III. If I hear some music I like in public, I might be moved to kinda dance. I can be carelessly eccentric.
IV. Restless: I'm a pretty restless guy. Like Kirk, I bounce my leg. I will also spend 24-36-72 hours fixating on one thing if I feel I need to get it done. It's getting harder to do as I age. ha. yay.
V. I don't think I've seen any movies as many times as I've seen: A Christmas Story, Aliens, Breakfast Club and Night of the comet. Nice combo, eh?
VI. I'm an idea guy. I worked in the school cafeteria where I went to school. They made pizzas I suggested and added a healthy choices/vegetarian station. I wasn't a vegetarian, but school food provoked me to go beef free for almost a full year. Flipping burgers = evil. I have people's ears at work, always listen to what I have to say.I'm encouraged to make suggestions on how to make things better.
VII. I manage to figure things pretty quickly. I'm pretty observant and sometimes all this occurs when I don't want it to.VIII. I rarely get more than 6 hours of sleep a night.

What is your definition of cheating?
Posting the same QOTD every f*cking day
I spent most of the day building my sisters computer, installing Vista, importing some files, getting some things that didn't want to work, to work. To those not versed in such tasks you may think "oh dear yikes". No. I love this shit, bring it! BRING IT! BRING IT!
P.S. As with most OSes, vista has its problems, but it's not bad. But then again when I say "I WILL MAKE YOU WORK", I mean it.
Show us a photo of you with a funny haircut.
Better yet, you show me a picture of you naked. :-p
Blood Clots/Stroke - They Now Have a Fourth Indicator, the Tongue.
I will continue to forward
this every time it comes around!
STROKE:Remember
The 1st Three Letters....S.T.R.
My nurse friend sent this and encouraged me to post it and spread the word. I agree.
If everyone can remember something this simple, we could save some folks.
Seriously..
Please read:
STROKE IDENTIFICATION:
During a BBQ, a friend stumbled and took a little fall - she assured everyone that she was fine (they offered to call
paramedics) ....she said she had
just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes.
They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food. While she appeared a bit shaken up, Ingrid went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening
Ingrid's husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital - (at 6:00 pm Ingrid passed away.) She had suffered a stroke at the BBQ. Had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps Ingrid would be with us today. Some don't die.... they end up in a helpless, hopeless condition instead.
It only takes a minute to read this...
A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke...totally. He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough.
RECOGNIZING A STROKE
Thank
God for the sense to remember the '3' steps, STR. Read
and Learn!
Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke. Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions:
S *Ask the individual to SMILE.
T *Ask the person to TALK and SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently) ( i.e. It is sunny out today)
R *Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH
ARMS.
If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call 999/911immediatelyand describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.
New Sign of a Stroke -------- Stick out Your Tongue
NOTE: Another 'sign' of a stroke is this: Ask the person to 'stick' out his tongue..If the tongue is 'crooked', if it goes to one side or the other ,that is also an indication of a stroke.
A cardiologist says if everyone who gets this e-mail sends it to 10 people; you can bet that at least one life will be saved.
FAVORITES!
*sigh* Yes. I really really really want this.
No, I will not be accepting it in a locked down format. But I like the page. Groovy.
Ripped jeans? no.
sarcastic shits? no.
bed head? no.
7pm shadow? never!
wild hair days? nope!
doodling and fidgeting during teleconferences? nah!
abruptly barking and then spitting out partial foul syllables? nuh-uh.
listening to my MP3 player 2/3s of a day? you'd think so.... but no!!!
My manager stopped by and laughed and said "loooove what ya did with the desk!"
there were piles of papers and cups and bottles on one side. I just grinned and started picking it up.
What role did you play in your school play?
Supporting roles. I never had the lead in anything.
I was the bratty brother in "Bye Bye Birdie".
I was some extra dude that had two lines in "Oklahoma".
It kind of annoyed me having to do so much work for so very little. It was all a popularity show.
Do I think I could entertain? I'm a riot! You just don't get to see it in words. I'm lazy.
What is your definition of cheating?
Exactly in what light are we talking about? Cheating on your taxes, cheating on your girlfriend, cheating on your midterms? Specificity would really be appreciated here!
Generally, I think there's a standard set of norms and values a body of people or any grouping of people greater than one would follow for a given task. Everyone agrees that this set grouping of of rules, laws, codes or agreements are what is supposed to be followed to the T. When someone deviates from some of these 'abidings', in certain given set of these an individual or minority of these people are deemed as cheaters. Take marriage, a majority of people who believe in this arrangement believe in celibacy and honesty, those who break these in favor of sex with multiple partners would be considered the cheater. A majority of students attending school would agree that the person that found a way to take or access answers they failed to learn would be cheating. In both of these cases, it's cheating.
People sometimes cheat to make things easier, to make stagnating things or systems succeed.
When a group of people are preforming a given highly repetitive and exhausting task at work, the person who finds a way to do it a better way "cheats" that set system, but it's a good cheat (unless someone gets canned because it can now be done by less people). Innovations based on deviations from a set of governing rules are cheats. Some surgeries can be cheats deviating from nature. What are we after here? Cheating can be a bad thing and it can be a wonderful thing. And perhaps you all think I'm off my fucking rocker ;).
Stop raping my Sansa trying to look for a SD card that's not there!
Thanks,
Bob.
